Prince Harry recalls meeting the parents of his girlfriend Chelsy Davy.

The Duke of Sussex’s ex-girlfriend accompanied him to see her mother and father in Cape Town a few months into their relationship.

When asked about the encounter, Harry describes the pair as the best ‘in-laws’ someone could ever have.

In ‘Spare,’ he writes: “She invited me to come back to Cape Town, meet her parents. I did. And liked them instantly. They were impossible not to like. They enjoyed funny stories, gin and tonics, good food, stalking. Her father was bear-sized, broad-shouldered, cuddly, but also a definite alpha. Her mother was petite, an amazing listener, and a frequent bestower of epic hugs.

Harry then adds: “I didn’t know what the future held, I didn’t want to put any carts before any horses, but I thought: If you designed in-laws from the ground up, you couldn’t do much better than these guys.”

Harry and Chelsy split up in 2010, six years after they originally met in Cape Town.
